PSA:
You can love Jewish people and be against Zionism.
You can want a free Palestine and a free Iran at the same time.
You can love a population of people and also hate people in that population who hate other people.
All things can be true. It’s not always one or the other.

My analogy - someone enters USA from Canada in a car. Border guards suspect them of smuggling drugs, so they shoot them, then set the car and body on fire. Not ok. And the same as what's happening here.

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.
The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

A federal judge didn’t “steal” the Commander-in-Chief’s powers—she ruled that DoD exceeded the limits Congress set. That is the rule of law working as designed. What threatens the Republic isn’t judicial review, but officials who insist they’re above it.
